MonoRants @The Movies ·

We're rounding off our first three DC movies with the last (but by no means least) of DC's Trinity in 2009's Wonder Woman. It's time to get our mythology nerd on in this rant about giant opening battles, a Greek God who speaks Latin, great origins, poor geography, satisfying conclusions and the great Persephone switcheroo.

DC02: Batman: Gotham Knight (2008)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/08/20

We're on to our second episode of DC animated movies with the third film in the series (we have our reasons) and it's Batman: Gotham Knight. It's not entirely our bag (of guns) but we still found plenty to enjoy and rant about like... the intricacies of an underground pneumatic coffin system, K-pop Bruce, an Indian Murderface and properly getting inside an early Batman's damaged mind.

DC01: Superman Doomsday (2007)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/08/14

It's time to actually talk 2007's Superman: Doomsday. It's a short one this week as we had already covered a bit in the last episode but we still manage to rant... braggy Superman & creepy Lex, a really smooth narrative, a unique grief shared by Lois, Martha AND Lex, a very niche Kevin Smith reference, modesty glass, having a lot of charm and looking forward to what's to come.

Bonus DCUAOM Rant

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/08/11

We're back after a short break deciding how best to podcast in solidarity with the strikers. Turns out, it's talk about cartoons. So we did. Or rather, attempted to talk about one specifically and then took a massive tangent. And here it is, Join us for a rant about the DC Universe Animated Original Movies, why we love them, where to get them, how awesome they all are, and how we'll be covering them going forward.

63: Ten Inch Hero (2007) with The Green Cooler

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/07/24

It's time for another new film for Mono, and some eye candy for the girls this week as we take a look at the surprisingly horny, hallmark skirting 2007 ensemble movie "Ten Inch Hero". It stars a supernatural actor so we brought on a supernatural superfan to help us out this week. Join us and The Green Cooler as we rant sexy sexy Jensen, also sexy sexy Clea, bad bad Brad & Tadd, some very 2007 choices, horny Statler & Waldorf, stalking being a not good thing and getting off with

62: Priest (2011)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/07/17

We finally get around to the long awaited third film in the "films that wrap up too quickly" trilogy this week. Daybreakers and Legion had their slightly rushed day in the sun, and now it's time for 2011's "Priest". So hop on your solar powered jet bike for this rant about throwing stupid stones, a world we love but want more of, Ninja Cowboy Priests, fun Hive Vampires, implying a whole lot, Japanese theatre, Flagellation devices and Mono learning the meaning of a Soiled

61: Universal Soldier (1992)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/07/10

We're back to movies this week and ready to wait 25 years to reanimate dead troops with 1992's "Universal Soldier". It's got everything; action, suspense, explosions, Truck! We hope you're all ears for this rant about fun psycho Dolph, a much darker original cut, minimal effort sci-fi jargon, an ass-off between JCVD and Mark Dacascos, wondering whether the Universal soldiers are cyborgs or zombies and the importance of self preservation instincts. And Truck. Find us on

Recommends... Gormenghast with Tadhg

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/07/03

We're trying something (barely) different this week and recommending a TV show you may not have seen. We've brought in some help in the form of non-podcaster and old old friend to us both, Tadhg, to cover the BBC's adaption of Mervyn Peake's seminal fantasy of manners novel, Gormenghast. So escape the kitchens for this rant about absurd yet fantastic characters, a seriously impressive cast, an incredibly rich world from no place or time, striking the right balance with tone, ragging

60: Intermission (2003)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/06/26

We're sticking close to home this week. In fact, we've only gone next door to Dublin for our third Irish film with 2003's fast talking, bus crashing, Ronnie wearing "Intermission". Put a squirt of brown sauce in your cuppa and settle in for a rant about the Dublin-iest dialogue, the general lack of respect for the police, little b*stard kids, what a ronnie is and other Irish slang, Oscar the actually nice guy and the Real great leveller in Ireland: making false insurance claims

59: Hackers (1995)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/06/19

We're taking a trip back to the early days of the internet this week. It's message boards, dial-up and rollerblades as we Hack the Planet with 1995's cyberpunk classic "Hackers". So if you wanna be elite, you'd better listen to this rant about holding up remarkably well, giving yourself nicknames, knowing real life Mr The Plague's, Freak & Cereal being just the best, Kate being an Acid Bitch, skateboards meaning you're old, Homing from Work and the top three

58: Alien Vs Predator: Requiem (2007)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/06/12

We take a look at our first sequel this week and it's maybe sorta kinda possibly not so great. But we always try and focus on the good here at MonoRants, and there definitely is some in 2007's "Alien Vs Predator: Requiem". So grab some night vision goggle (they'll be about as much use for podcast listening as they were in the film) and join us for a rant about... unfulfilled trilogy hopes, ALL the 'Starga-natural' actors, everyone getting it, Xenomorph biology lessons,

57: The Island (2005)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/06/05

It's another new film for Mono because this week we're looking at Michael Bay's much maligned but actually pretty damn good Sci-Fi action blockbuster "The Island". It's surprisingly quite subtle (in places) and as deep as you need it to be, but still with plenty of that Michael Bay flair. Watch your proximity and join us as we rant in depth about the evil corporations we love so much, excellent early world building, bad accents Vs good acting, magical pregnancies, Prince

56: Saw (2004)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/05/30

We want to Play a game this week on MonoRants. But there are rules. Very ill defined rules and equally shady motivation in 2004's escape room gore fest, "Saw". We mostly love it, but we have some issues. Find out what as you hack your way into this rant about excellent foreshadowing, poor choice in victims, which victim has it worst, the limitations of cancer patients in undertaking complex mechanical construction projects, getting your partner killed and one inevitably very awkward

55: Punisher War Zone (2008) with Joe from Hallmark...

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/05/21

It's time for the greatest, goriest, gunniest superhero film of them all, and to help we've brought a man who likes two things; ultraviolence and tunnocks teacakes. It's 2008's "Punisher War Zone" and Joe from the Hallmark of Greatness podcast. So flip and then explode into this rant of many, many tangents like... bad accents, bugging confessionals, not faffing about with long tragic flashbacks, Punisher taking on Judge Dredd and then John Wick, awesomely comic violence

54: John Carpenter's Vampires (1998)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/05/15

It's John Carpenters first turn here on MonoRants and we haven't gone for any of the big ones. Instead we're looking at the gore filled horror-western that is 1998's Vampires. Mono loves it, Ciara thinks it's a different film and both can't get over how badly poor Katrina is treated. So lather up and shave your ass for this rant about the serious mistreatment of women depicted (honestly not a joke, its bad), punching head wounds, moaning about motels, planning a better

53: The Running Man (1987)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2023/05/08

It's Arnie's turn on MonoRants as we take a trip to the far off dystopian future of 2017/19. That's right, it's loads of wrestlers, tiny cars and gratuitous televised deaths with 1987's The Running Man. So grab your bread and join this circus for a rant about whether Arnie is a character in the movie or just IN the movie, Mono's (apparent) least favourite choreographer, Ciara's favourite trope, our favourite childhood violent game, the origins of Smash Tv, a fantastically

We're back in our comfort zone this week with fantastic visuals, amazing scores and gore filled zombie rage. It can only be Danny Boyle's instant zombie classic, "28 Days Later". So grab a bag of cans and join us for a rant about terrifying zoombies, assaulting the clergy, killing non zombies in a zombie apocalypse, reading too much into one bit of ADR, going the full Artilleryman, unleashing Jim's inner rage zombie and some concern for the lives of Goldfish from a woman who

We're staying with alternate ancient history Sci-Fi this week as we talk a film that pays the utmost respect to it's source material with 1993's "Super Mario Bros.". It's 30 years old, there's a new Mario film and it's a childhood favourite for Mono & Ciara. So grab your incredibly important plumbing tools and devolve with this rant about Lizard Trump & Kreepy Koopa, going all in with the plumber angle, an eggy antichrist, the stupidity of the smart talker

It's a big one this week. No, not hitting Episode 50. We're finally talking the one and only action, sci-fi, Egyptology classic (shut the f**k up it's a classic) 1994's Stargate. So step through the gate with us for a rant about a Ha'tak's worth of unexplained SG1 references, Ancient Alien BS, Amazing music from a beginner composer, Daniel's consent issues, Ra being just incredible, the start of so many show tropes, fantastic pacing, men in corsets, not enough Richard
